ConnectApi.Files Class Unavailable

Does anyone know why the ConnectApi.Files class would be unavailable in an org?
Reference: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_ConnectAPI_Files_static_methods.htm?search_text=contentcapability#apex_ConnectAPI_Files_getFilePreview_1

What error specifically are you getting?  Can you also include the line of code that you are attempting to call?

NOTE: When including code, please use the "Add a code sample" button (icon <>) to increase readability and make it easier to reference.

Also, can you please include the API version of the apex class / trigger you are attempting to make the call from

Trying to call the getFilePreview method of ConnectApi.Files but ConnectApi.Files isn't available in API 35.0 so apparently the documentation I linked was published but the functionality wasn't actually released

I would try reaching out to the documentation team / support to see if this was released early to the documentation or if it's part of a pilot that you have to setup first.

Dang, thanks a lot for reporting this. I work for Salesforce and can confirm that it was unintentionally included in the documentation. It's going to be removed.

The same functionality is available in the Chatter REST API in v35.0 in case it helps:

A workaround in Apex would be to make an HTTP callout to the REST endpoint -- not very nice, but I can't think of a better way.
